Why do we need them

[Zepp]

Why do we need mosquito's I got bitten in Germany on the butt when I was sleeping Ive now been bitten again on the neck in Portugal I hate the little shits.

Just read this it all makes sense now

Only female mosquitoes bite humans and animals; males feed on flower nectar

The deadliest creature on earth and still causing more than 1,000,000 deaths each year.

Do you think it might be the same one that bit you twice? Check the lumps. The German one will look like a Bratwurst. They are very good at hiding. My step dad used to tell me that during the war, pilots could hide mosquitoes behind hills and buildings when zipping into their targets.

I hate them too but they have their place in ecoystems as food sources for fish, birds etc.

Perhaps you have hit on the answer there...... Salmon spread rubbed into buttocks before bed.

That'll frighten the little buggers off.

Predator... Smell of fish?
No! No! Don't go there Tootles. This conversation could get messy.

Not as messy as rubbing John West into your bottom at bed time. I mean, who is this 'John West', that he thinks he can cavort with other men using his salmon paste?

It may well be the same one lol I always pull the covers off Lynne when she is asleep if I can hear one in the van hoping they will get her not me

A wise move!! Try painting a large red cross on her bottom. Some of these creatures can be very short sighted, and might mistake your head for her bum. It happens with me a lot.

Having never met you or Lynne I could not possibly comment on the similarities between your head and Lynne's bum.

Is it the wasp that is the only living thing that, if it died out, would make zero impact on ecology ?

I canna remember if it is the wasp or a type of shark.. Not much difference is there ? !! LOL !!

Good news the little bugger is now dead found it this morning so happy its only cost about £40 to kill it with sprays and plug in devices etc

A type of mosquito has killed off all but 9 of the penguin colony at Longleat, and all the Penguins at Exmoor zoo. Infects the birds with a type of avian flu ( which can't be passed to humans). http://www.itv.com/news/2016-09-27/entire-penguin-population-at-exmoor-zoo-wiped-out-by-malaria/
Huge numbers of human deaths from malaria each year, plus the suffering brought on by the Zika virus, I've never understood the existence of mosquitos either.
